United always seem to somehow nick goals in these kind of games even when they're being completely out-played.

Please don'st start again! Yes, we sold him, we were idiots, he was on the year of his contract..blah blah blah. He's an opposition player now and this is getting beyond boring.

And we got out-played by Aston Villa..at home! What's your point? Each match is completely different than the other. Expect Liverpool to continue to dominate and united to nick a couple of goals. I predict a 2-2 draw.

Seriously? He got torn to shreds by Bellamy!

I see Liverpool deserving to win but united fluking a draw..

Only if united give them back to Everton after the match..

Awesome! Can he be like a vampire wizard ninja platypus?! That would be SO cool!

Hahahahahahaha Inter can't even afford their current players! This isn't lazy journalism, it's plain stupid journalism!

Well technically, it all started with the ball boy giving the ball to one of the players. He deserves some credit!

Read the game brilliantly well yesterday. His movement and reading of the game is just excellent.

What guy?

I'm actually surprised they spent so much money. No one in Italy currently has any money. The Higuian and Calejon deals were some excellent pieces of business.

They're definitely title contenders for sure, but Juve have more quality in their ranks. I'm just not too sure about their CBs; Britos is average at best and Albion couldn't shine in Spain so I doubt he would Italy.

Well they've spent A LOT in the market. half their starting XI was not with the team last season add to that Hamsik has finally remembered that he is supposed to be an excellent player. Going forward they look frightening but they had some massive issues at the back today.

Jealous that other members are being more controversial than you these days, Term? You and me both know there as much logic in that statement as someone saying: "Jose is going against the will of the fans by continuing to bench Mata since they have voted him player of the year the last two seasons. His continuing to disrespect the opinion of the fans will get him sacked soon."

Dzeko was my captain this week

True, but considering how deep we were playing, he shouldn't have had as many chances as he had last night.

We know he can't defend at RB as well as he does at CB. And tbf, Ramires wasn't really helping him much when Ribery cuts inside.

Drogba's and Lukaku's pens were very similar in terms of pace on the ball and positioning of the shot. Yes Lukaku's run-up was probably ten-times worse (Didier didn't make a run up) but the point was had Neuer jumped the right way it would have been a similarly easy save and the pen would have been called just as bad as Lukaku's.

It was a terrible penalty but it's just not a big deal because anyone misses a penalty in a shoot-out and there is always a great deal of luck in it. In fact, Drogba took a very similar pen two years against Munich (which was also a terrible pen) but he was lucky enough that the keeper dived the wrong way. A missed penalty in a shoot-out is not something to criticize a player for in my book. As for the Cech thing, what I meant is that you also need your keeper to save pens to win shoot-outs because your players can't keep scoring them forever. If Cech had saved a couple of pens then Lukaku's miss would have been irrelevant like Mata's miss in Munich. My point was that Romelu is as much responsible for the loss for being unlucky enough that the keeper guessed his pen correctly as is Cech for being unlucky not to guess three of the five pens correctly. The theory that I'm blaming Cech to protect Lukaku doesn't really work since, just Yesterday, I was being slatted for criticizing Romelu and saying that Torres is still better.

Alright, I think this thread has served it's purpose and is now turning into a fight thread. Locked.

Because we have a massive squad.

So that how decent delivery from the wings looks like...good to know!

We have been so lucky to have players in our team like Cole who never fail to come up with world-class performances in big games.

Brilliant. Incredible work-rate. Gave so much cover for Cole and still created the first goal and scored the second. Amazing.
